Hello bestmaliko8,

Unfortunately you have picked up some malware, cause that "searchbaron" is a browser hijacker.

Would you do this please :

Go to the Firefox menu (≡) => Preferences => Add-ons => Extensions and remove anything that looks unfamiliar or suspicious.

Next step : run malwarescans - further information can be found in this article :

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware?cache=no

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. They all work differently - what one program doesn't pick up, the other might.

Especially for Mac : https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac/

See this article for more instructions :

(you'll have to scroll down to "Remove Searchbaron.com from Firefox")

Well said.
